TensorFlow Developers Hiring Guide

First let's discuss what TensorFlow does and what it is, as it can be a bit confusing. Let's use Android phone photography as an example. When you use your phone to take a photo, you might snap an image of a location. When you do, you might discover that Google Photos is capable of identifying a landmark in that image (say the Golden Gate Bridge). How does Google Photos pull that off? Through TensorFlow.

TensorFlow offers a collection of libraries and modules that enable the construction and execution of what is called TensorFlow computations. These computations are expressed in stateful data flow graphs which make it possible for Google Photos to accurately identify landmarks.

Originally, Google developed what was called DistBelief, which worked on a positive reinforcement model. How this worked was simple: A machine was shown an image and was then asked to identify the image. An incorrect guess would lead to an adjustment so it could better recognize the image.

The next phase in that project was TensorFlow, which improved on the concept by employing layers of data, called Nodes. As the machine dove deeper into the layers of nodes, it could be asked (and answer) more and more complex questions about an image. One layer might require the machine to recognize a general shape, such as "round." A deeper layer would then require the machine to recognize a more specific shape, such as an eye. This process (from input through data layers to output) is called a tensor, which is where the name TensorFlow comes from.

Thanks to TensorFlow, devices continue to become smarter and smarter. And with the constant rise and assimilation of Big Data, the need for ML and AI has become critical for big businesses, as data is the driving force behind innovation and market expansion.

Thanks to ML and AI, businesses are now better able to use massive amounts of data to train their software to work more efficiently and effectively.

For your company to make use of TensorFlow, your developers are going to need to know a few languages. Those languages include:

• Python
• JavaScript
• Swift
• C
• Go
• Java
• Haskell
• C#

Your engineers don't have to know every one of those languages, but they will certainly need to know Python, as it’s the most commonly used programming language for TensorFlow.

How difficult is it to find good TensorFlow developers?

Although finding developers that can work well with Python and JavaScript is relatively easy, you're going to have to focus your search on developers who also understand how to work with machine learning and artificial intelligence. Without a solid understanding of those 2 concepts, developers will have a hard time working with TensorFlow.

Those engineers will also need to know how to use:

• TensorFlow Serving - a flexible serving system that makes it possible for developers to seamlessly serve and work their learning models once they're trained.
• TensorFlow Lite - a deep learning framework for deploying models on mobile, embedded, and IoT devices.

The good news is that ML and AI are incredibly popular these days, and TensorFlow leads the charge, so you shouldn't have any problem finding strong developers who can effectively work with TensorFlow. Hiring them, though, will come with a significant cost, so keep that in mind.

Conclusion

If your business is serious about remaining relevant and being able to keep up with the competition, you're going to have to take  machine learning and artificial intelligence seriously. To do that, you're going to need to find the best TensorFlow developers on the market, so your apps and services can benefit from deep learning.
